The de Haas-van Alphen Effect in Ferromagnetic Nickel

Abstract

The current results of our de Haas‐van Alphen investigation of ferromagnetic nickel yield complete data for the [111] directed neck which is assumed to be associated with L_2′ of the spin ↑ s band and for a set of X‐centered pockets which have been assigned to the X₅ spin ↓ d‐band holes. The negative results of the experiment indicate that the X₂ spin ↓ level is below the Fermi level and that the ordering of the L₃₂ ↓ and L_2′ ↓ levels is that recently proposed by Krinchik and Canshina.
